SO the only possible conclusion is that one does not need the meaning of a word in order to be able to use it correctly.

Let’s put the question that is asked towards the end of the talk: Can one be wrong about ones gender identity?

so did you notice the part about gender identity only being known by how one feels? That’s what makes it different.

listen to the podcast.

playing golf is something we can both experience. The mooted gender identity does not have any outward qualities that might be shared. It is simply th...

part of why I found her interesting is that most of the feminist stuff around is not analytic. Her style is refreshingly direct.

because it also involves the playing of golf. If you are not going to get on the page by listening to the podcast, your posts will remain unhelpful.

way it is like to play golf is not a deeply held experience that you share with other golfers.

That's what might be claimed. And the point is the incoherence of claiming the mental state-of-affairs of a man.

Read up on the Naturalistic Fallacy. In the end you have a choice. You have to choose between following god and killing your son, or not killing him a...

...and is exactly what Rebecca is arguing against... So do you agree wiht what she says?

Listen to the red tent link.

Ah, so the right to bear arms is not part of Catholic Catechism. Further proof that Catholics are not true Scotsmen.

You left out the bit about bearing arms...

OK, then. God's insistence on absolute obedience, even to demanding that Abraham kill his son, shows that God is not worthy of being obeyed. God's mor...

And how could you know that you understood them correctly? Moreover, how could you be sure that you feel something that all other women also feel?

That's not right. Not by a long shot. Not even close to cogent. But the fact that we use the word "red" to talk about a range of different colours mig...

Have a look a this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwgkF_HOh-I Do you really take Mr Edison's use to be nothing but syntactic? To what does the word ...

How?

Ok. Put it like this. You cannot know what it feels like to be a woman, because you do not have access to how other women feel about themselves.

how does he feel about being defined by what he is not? Forget that. I don’t care.

Again, check out Rebecca Reilly-Cooper.

Or if you prefer an more analytic analysis, an individual is pointed out by a rigid designator, for whom no specific characteristics are necessary. In...

Existence precedes essence. So your individuality, your being that person, comes before any characteristics that you might later take on. And that inc...

So you are happy that there is no difference between "How are you feeling?" and "What is it like to be you?" As if how you feel is not subject to chan...

Do you? Is there a thing that it is like to be Molie? How would you tell? Since you can't know what it is like to be a bat, how can you differentiate ...

Laughing, in that sad way one does when faced with that obscene gun obsession that somehow worked its way into American mythology.

Your logic is a bit odd, but if it were right, so much the worse for Christianity's claim to moral worth.

You think? Nah. Couldn't be,

Indeed. Not nice folk.

So, as Satre, being proceeds essence, and we are obliged to choose; easy, then, to choose from the ubiquitous roles really set before us; to bypass so...

Cheers.

China is not fascist.
